News From May 2016

The Grossglockner organisers have confirmed that world-class ultra runner Gediminas Grinius, the 2015 winner of the Transgrancanaria (Spain) and the Ultra Trail Mount Fuji (Japan), will run in the second edition of this ultra in Austria, on 22nd July 2016.

Dr Irene Kavanagh (MSc Psychology) at the Department of Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University (UK) is looking to recruit amateur female ultra runners to complete a brief and anonymous online survey as part of her research project: ‘A quantitative exploration of mental toughness and positive well being in female ultra runners’.

If you’ve signed up for the 80k, there are changes to the course to improve fluidity in the early sections of the ultra. The course for the Vertical KM has also been altered as has the starting time, which has been moved forward by two hours in relation to the previous 2015 edition.
